Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chanson Webster (ranked 6144 p4p, 544 weight class) and Santos Maricone (ranked 6635 p4p, 569 weight class). Chanson Webster had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Chanson Webster looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
